Easter Escape
We had a lovely time at The Heavens, beautiful location. Loved having the animals around. Great home base to explore the region. The only issue was having a shared dual-entry bathroom which could be a little uncomfortable for two couples, but would be fine for a small family. Excellent hospitality from Jan. Highly recommended!

A true escape!
My husband and I had a very relaxing time at Elysium for a week away from the hustle of Sydney. It was just what we needed. Total peace and quiet out in nature, with only animals and gorgeous scenery for our neighbours. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable with beautiful views from every window.

The location was very isolated and private revealing gorgeous views. The accomodation was abit dated with cobwebs around. But overall it suited us for a stop over for 2 nights in the area.

Heavenly weekend
The Elysium cottage at the Heavens was a beautiful piece of paradise set in amongst the mountains down near Kangaroo Valley. The property was quiet and peaceful, surrounded by wildlife, mountains and Mother Nature at her finest. The cottage was a quaint and clean space that had everything you needed (could’ve done without the little field mouse who decides to join us but can’t have everything) with beautiful views.

3 summer nights in Heaven
Stayed in Elysium cottagge with my family of four and our furbaby Lulu and it was indeed a nice experience. The tranquility of the surroundings was a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. And we were indeed greeted by the Alpaca trio and the goats who stays right beside the house. Also Jan had been very helpful from booking till checkout on everything. Will definitely visit again! 😊 NB: Please ensure you are getting all the required grosseries before going there as there are no many shops around the valley and the nearest biggie Supermarket is a bit far.

Amazing stay
My partner and I stayed at Elysium cottage for 7 days during Christmas. What a lovely place it is! Very cozy cottage with beautiful views and fenced garden for our pup. Right beside alpaca & goat paddock, away from all the noise and traffic. Modern interior with fully equipped kitchen and perfectly working WiFi ( we watched movies on Netflix without any issues). Short drive to the town where you can find coffee shops, service station, grocery store etc. Communication with Jan & Rob was 10/10 ! Also, Elysium is pet friendly - our pup absolutely adored the place and animals. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to take a break from busy city life.
